Dual-Boxing setup

5boxing
Here is my multi-box setup in my house

Verta baby! This is what allows you to control all the PC's connected to it

5WOWs
Another view, These are my 5 Shaman you can't see them b/c they are in ghost wolf form

So what the hell is this? It's MMO gaming at the next level. Learn more about it here, Dual-Boxing

This is very time consuming playing this way and requires a lot of attention. Due to me being a husband/daddy now I can't devote the time to this that I once could. So it's just sitting there now.

New pics as promissed

My house hasn't been the same since the birth of my daughter. All the space I had for myself before is now her space as well. You will see what I mean. My delicate area has to be gated off.

It's been a while

So it's been a while since I've put anything of usefulness here. On the home front I've been with my little girl mostly having fun with here. On the console side of things I do owe you all new pics. One of these days, I promise.

I've been waiting for a good game to drop PC or console mostly console. And mostly a PS3 title. I did manage to download the latest update 1.60 and I am a folder right now LOL. I'm talking about folding@home I'm using my PS3 to help in the greater good of mankind. Doesn't that sound presidential LOL. I'm helping the research for protein folding with I don't use my PS3. It's like SETI. Basically you launch the app from the XBM on the PS3 and the program downloads a work unit from Standford Unv. My PS3 will utilize it's power and process this data until it's complete. Each work unit takes about 6-8 hours. Oh you can't do anything else while this is running. But I'm not doing anything with my PS3 right now anyway. Where are my stats so far (Nocturnalis)

Check out the Stanford folding site (http://folding.stanford.edu/). It's quit nice what these guys are doing.

Added some new items

First, I got the Xbox 360 HD-DVD player right before the holidays. It's a nice addon. HD-DVD's look great on my setup. My only gripe is that it is having issues with DTS and the audio level is way off. Usually I'd watch a DVD at about -35 to -40dbs using the HD-DVD I have to watch it at -20dbs or higher I even cranked it all the way up to 0dbs and the sound was still horrible. This issue has been discussed over at the AVS boards.

Second, I got my hands on the Wii. Yep I got a Wii! It's very fun to play. I can tell you that you can lose weight playing with this thing. The first day I got it I was playing boxing for Wii sports and I was breaking a sweat and tiring after a few rounds. The next day I noticed my thighs hurting. I don't remember doing anything strenuos. Then it dawned on my that while I was boxing I was in the typical boxing stance with kneens bent and this is where the soreness came from. I've played boxing a tennis so far and love them both. I'll try the other later on.

Third, my palm is dying. I can't figure out for the life of me how to take care on this indoor plant. Yes my plants are real. I've just recently moved it into more sunlight to see if that will wake it up. What I'll try next is to change the soil. Maybe it's too home in my house. I don't know I'll figure it out.

More pics to come shortly.
